In actual race news...

Ivan Basso has won the Giro D'Italia (soft G, short I, like Giblets). As you all should know, he's considered the odds-on favorite for this year's Tour, and if he pulls it off, he'll be only the twelfth to win 2 of the 3 big races in one year (the third is the Vuelta a España). Although I'll be pulling for Vino, I woudn't mind seeing Basso managing such a feat.
